Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has reportedly agreed to sell one of the club's stars in the January transfer window.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly agreed to sanction the departure of striker Gabriel Jesus in the upcoming January transfer window, according to Brazilian media.

The 28-year-old’s importance to the Gunners has diminished drastically since his celebrated €52.2 million arrival in 2022.

Jesus lost his starting spot first to Kai Havertz and more recently to summer signing Viktor Gyökeres. Despite being linked with a return to his formative club, Palmeiras, the former City striker is reportedly focused on remaining in Europe for now.

According to ESPN Brasil reporters Andre Hernan and Bruno Andrade, the striker is currently prioritizing his career abroad.

"One topic that is always on the agenda of Brazilian football clubs is the possible return of Gabriel Jesus," Hernan said.

"But he is a player who is much more focused on staying in Europe than returning to Brazil."

The report further states that the door to an exit from Arsenal has been opened by the club itself. Andrade revealed that the Gunners have been proactive in addressing Jesus's future:

"Just over a month ago, when Arsenal signed Gyökeres, the club sent a message to Gabriel Jesus' camp that there was a chance he could leave."

Arteta and Arsenal are open to a deal for Jesus in the next window, as the striker looks to revive his career.
